ORDER OF TRANSFER
v.
SACRAMENTO SUPERIOR COURT; et al.,

Respondents.

14
Anthony James Williams, an inmate at Deuel Vocational Institute in Tracy, California,
15
has filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus that appears to challenge his conviction from the
16
Sacramento County Superior Court. Sacramento County lies within the venue of the Eastern
17
District of California. The facility Williams is incarcerated at is in San Joaquin County, also
18
within the venue of the Eastern District of California. Venue is proper in a habeas action in
19
either the district of confinement or the district of conviction, 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d); however, a
20
petition challenging a conviction or the sentence imposed is preferably heard in the district of
21
conviction. See Habeas L.R. 2254-3(b). Because the conviction occurred in, and the prisoner
22
is housed in, the Eastern District of California, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) and Habeas L.R.
23
2254-3(b), and in the interests of justice, this action is TRANSFERRED to the United States
24
District Court for the Eastern District of California. The clerk shall transfer this matter
25
forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
